Maybelline Mini Colorama polishes are among my favourite polishes. I've been satisfied with their quality, the brush suits me, and I like the packaging. They come in 7,5 ml bottles. This line seems to be discontinued (they can't be found on official Maybelline website) and replaced with new Color Show line.

Classics cosmetics is made by the same company that makes Golden Rose - Erkul cosmetics. I only have tried out Classics nail polishes. This polish is from Charming line. They come in 7.5 ml bottles. The range of colours (available in our stores) isn't great.

One Coat is a new line of polishes that Don Juan Cosmetics put on market a month ago. There are 6 shades for now, but more will be added. They come in square 12 ml bottles and cost about 1.5 €. I was lucky to get one in my prize box from Don Juan so I'll do a quick review of it. A quick one because this colour is so unfitting for me that I can't stand it on my nails so long that I could test its durability. I did buy the red polish from this collection and I'll gladly test that one thoroughly.

Aura Nail Beauty line of polishes doesn't contain formaldehyde, toluene and camphor. It is claimed on the website that it gives perfect coverage in one coat, that it dries fast, that it is chip-resistant, that it doesn't stain nails and that the colour lasts for 7 days. I am very happy to say that in my experience all these claims turned out to be true. The only thing I might object to is this line's rather boring choice of colours. They come in 10.5 ml bottles and cost about 3 €.

I ran into Manhattan Fluo Club polishes ten years ago in Budapest. I was in my blue-green phase and I just had to buy polish number 110. In bottle it is blue-green with metallic cover, on nails it looks like metallic version of blue highlighter pen, and under UV light it glows just like blue highlighter pen. Unfortunately, I don't have UV light and couldn't find one for these photos to show you the way it glows. I haven't used this polish for at least five years, and now I remembered why - it is very sheer, the application was horrible and it looks terrible on my nails.

Aura products were on speciall offer at Lilly drugstores - buy two get one for 1 dinar. I chose to buy three magnetic polishes and I picked 945 - Apollo secret; 946 - Houston controlled and 949 - Rocket Fuel. It turned out that one of the bottles had been opened - there was dried polish on the bottle and so much thread on the brush that I could easily sew a button with it. They gave me another, unopened one in the shop.

Today is "black-nearly black-black with glitter" Friday on Ana (we'll call it Goth Friday). Even though long awaited Revvvolution arrived yesterday, I decided to try out something I've mixed in an unsuccessful attempt to make black holo polish. That was before I knew the difference between holo polishes and holo glitter. I present you Twilight franken. It is made from Flormar Supershine 40 and Essence Hello Holo in unknown ratio. This is one coat of Twilight over one coat of Flormar Supershine 40, which is enough for complete coverage. I don't want to brag, but this franken is far better than Deborah Shine Tech 18 because the glitter is bigger, more prominent and easily visible on nail, even without the top coat. The base is also darker than Deborah one and it can be worn on its own in two coats.

The winners of Don Juan Graffi Top contest have been announced. Considering that there were less participants than prizes, we all got something. I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get the first prize (I really think I deserved it), but on the other hand I am happy I took part and won something. Today I'll find out what the prize is. That's why I decided to try out the other Graffi Top I have. It is a bit harder to combine with the rest of my polishes because they are too dark for this one to be visible. So I put it over white Classics Glamour 104. Remember that horror I mentioned when I did Guarana owl? The same one. Now you can see for yourselves how awful this polish is. The crackle polish is good, as was expected.

This is how my nails looked during Japanizam festival. The pic is from today because I didn't get time to take pics of freshly painted nails. The mani survived five days with only tipwear. The combination consists of Golden Rose 287 and Color Club Ruby Slippers.

Some time ago Šmizla informed us that Miracle Colors line of Flormar polishes is not available in Novi Sad so I couldn't resist this chance to send her one. I already knew that I'll pick one of the purples because that's her colour. I chose the obvious duochrome out of the four purples that were available in the store at that moment (U06, U09, U26 i U31). In the daylight it turned out that it is actually a multichrome and that I had to own one too.
